La Grande Maslerie: Perfect your Pastels, Day 1

By Lynn Howarth
28th June, 2018

Our first plein air day here at La Grande Maslerie, Roullours, Normandy, France. It was a wonderful morning with glorious sunshine so we headed to a nearby pond with water lilies au Monet! It was the most beautiful spot with painting worthy vistas at every turn!

Most of the students chose to paint the pond but Sylvia decided to choose the fields opposite the pond instead. After two hours of hard work we stopped for lunch then went back to paint a bit more in the afternoon.  Sylvia, Sara and Adela decided to stay close to the stunning chateau and paint in the shade of the beautiful pergola in the back garden.

All in all a wonderful day’s work with Unison pastels featuring heavily in each painting

Colour Chart Guidance

We believe the colours in our web based colour chart are a faithful representation of our pastel range. But with any colours portrayed on the internet, there’s a whole heap of variables which mean that what you see, may not be what we see. That said, there’s some things that can be done to mitigate some of the variance.

Mobile phone and tablet screens tend to be pretty good for colour, so they’re always worth using, when viewing our colour chart.

We hate to say it, but cheaper computer displays, including laptops, can be rather hit and miss, in both colour and contrast, so they might not reveal the depth of the colour, as well as the true tone.

If you’re really keen on getting your computer up to speed on colour representation, you can use a calibration device to reach your display's fullest potential.

With all that said, if you think we’re way off the mark with any of the colours then, by all means let us know, and we’ll give it another shot.
